Hello everyone.....I was wondering if any one could tell me when a poodle changes it's hair? At about what age? Mine is 8 mo old now and has very, very straight hair. The other day the groomer told me she was not a pure breed because of the hair.
Thanks....

You know some poodles hair changes around 6-9 months and others never do change I have 5 poodles 4 real curly 1 is not so curly this does not mean that they are not pure bred I have found that the shorter I cut her hair the curlier it comes back in however its so cold here I have not completly shaved her. your welcome to look at my pups and see shasta does not have real curly hair but she is pure bred she has been dna tested... Dont let your groomer freak you out...

Don't pay any attention to the groomer. I've got two dogs that are as different as night and day. Cricket has very fine straight hair and Belle is as curly as they come and both of them are pure breds.

My adopted baby sister and i are like night and day. I'm charcoal colored with very soft wavy hair and she is apricot with tightly curled ringlets and some straight wirey hairs that stick up through the curls along her back. Mom says we are both purebred and i believe her cuz she's never lied to us before!!

Don't listen to the groomer. My poodle is a pure bred AKC registered toy poodle, and she has soft, fuzzy, straighter hair. They don't all have the typical tightly curled hair like you think a poodle should be. They can have various textures.
